Indians signed LHP Jesse English to a minor league contract.

English became a minor league free agent in November but took a while to draw offers because he is still in recovery mode from elbow surgery. The Tribe will use him as organizational depth once his health returns. Thu, Mar 24, 2011 07:41:00 PM

English, who had season-ending elbow surgery to repair bone chips in July, will become a minor league free agent later Saturday. It's not clear if the Nationals will attempt to retain him. Sat, Nov 6, 2010 11:06:00 AM

Jesse English will undergo season-ending elbow surgery on Wednesday.

The surgery will repair bone chips in his left elbow. The 25-year-old southpaw posted a 3.86 ERA over seven appearances with the Nats in April and leaves behind a 5.03 ERA in 16 games with Triple-A Syracuse. Tue, Jul 27, 2010 10:51:00 PM

Michael Brantley (shoulder) is slated to resume swinging a bat in late December.

Brantley had a lost 2016 season following a pair of shoulder surgeries, but the hope is that he's ready for the beginning of spring training. Still, he has to be considered a major question mark heading into 2017.

Cody Anderson underwent an arthroscopic debridement of his right elbow on Wednesday.

Anderson is expected to begin throwing in eight weeks and should be fine for the start of spring training next February, though he'll face an uphill battle for an Opening Day roster spot after registering a rough 6.68 ERA and 1.62 WHIP across 60 2/3 innings (nine starts, 10 relief appearances) for the Indians in 2016. Maybe the elbow was to blame.
